I love how she starts off extra as hell. Like she's not even on the stage yet and she's already singing her face off.

That's the epitome of "Grand Entrance"! That's also a staple of hers where you hear her before you see her. Look at the tributes to Smokey Robinson and Barry White. Those are just a couple of televised performances, but she still does that to this day at her concerts.

I have seen her sing her way from the lobby to the stage

In the mid 1990s in Buffalo, I saw her live. Despite a massive snowstorm that shut down the entire city,s he had it announced that she would be at the downtown theater at 8pm--on TV and radio. We get there, about 200 of us who lived close enough within the city to take the tram/train and when she came on stage an saw us in our number ticketed seats she made us all come forward, from balconies and back rows to fill up the first 10 rows in the 1000 seater auditorium and gave an intimate concert of amazing ability to us. She took off her makeup, took pictures, gave away her shoes and then because she knew we'd made an effort---she put down the mic and showed us what singing was---she did this 8 octave ladder thing where she would sing a note and then graduate it up and down and then to another level but couldn't use the mic with it because it would hurt our ears. I have never seen anything from a human being as remarkable. (The closest is when I saw Prince do this on a guitar---between 20-30 different songs switching on notes to differing songs but the same note within each song.) Her musicality, timing, pitch control and just fun and play (like Prince's) has made her something that I as a teenager to now an adult could deeply appreciate.

I never get tired of listening to Patti's music because she never sings a song exactly the same. There is always some variation so you are usually pleasantly suprised

I had the unbelievable opportunity to chauffer Patti when she was giving a concert in Rochester, NY. She was very tired from being on the road for I have no idea how many days. Still she was a woman of grace and class. When we arrived at the concert hall, she was helped up to the stage door. After going inside and she was introduced, she was suddenly filled more energy than I have ever witnessed before. She delivered an amazing concert for over an hour and left everyone wanting more. When the show was over, she was helped back into the limousine and nearly collapsed, having given all that she had to those who came to hear her sing. I drove many celebrities and bands around in that limousine. Not one of them had the abilities of Patti Labelle. Though I did not have the opportunity to be introduced to her, I will forever remember her ability to give all of her heart and soul to her audience. I am in awe and have drawn upon that night when I have felt that there was nothing left inside me and no way to go on. Thank you Patti for all you gave us that night.

You know you're the ultimate diva when you can carry all those flowers and gifts in one arm and still blow while you're exiting the stage...LONG LIVE THE QUEEN ! ***********************

Ms. LaBelle we are a group of concert goers! We went to a concert you had on your birthday. You still got it Must be in your cooking because I enjoy that show. We love with all hearts❣️❣️❣️💯💯💯😇😇😇😇

Love this lady! Gotta hear her do the ABC's on Sesame Street! Ooh wee!

I had the honor, and I will say the honor of seeing Patti in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She literally took the roof off. There is only one Patti.

She once came for a 1 night only here in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦... My jaw bone became permanently gobsmacked during that night.. A performer of note.. MS Labelle takes her craft seriously ❤❤❤

DANG! Nobody can break it down like Patti Labelle

Every single time she gets on stage she forgets she's human... Her live performances can't even be compared.

Who needs church when you can listen to Patti belt this music out? She get me so high.

Patti sings like a bird 🐤 those pipes of hers ain't no joke. One of my favorite singers.

My sister took me to see Patti on Broadway for my Birthday...Best present ever

That little gesture of her throwing away the microphone stand, or her shoes, whatever it may be, is very powerful. She's a performer and her voice is nothing but power and emotion. Love Patti.

I hope to meet Patti over the Rainbow when time comes

Her instrument is like no other! Love me some Patti!

SHE TORE THAT SONG UP!!! YES!!!

No one! No one! Does it like Ms Patty

and she has sung the best version of this song for many years..She is one of my favorite performers.

This,folks,is the true definition of powerhouse vocals

Crying tears and singing her praises to the Lord. Thank you, Patti.❤️

What a GIFT you are from the HEAVENS 😘

It's not often this 55 year old man while viewing a performance is moved to tears. The depth of love flowing onstage from Patti's heart projected out into the world is immeasurable. Two hearts instantly recognize that which mirrors itself. Thank you Ms. LaBelle! I LOVE YOU TOO!!!

Your Gods greatest gift to us all Ms. Patti Labelle 💙💚💜🤎 🌎 Loving You Always.

Her voice just makes everything better. I love how she carries all the flowers/gifts off stage. Clearly she's used to getting many! 😁

Packing up her gifts AND STILL KILLING THE MIC. .....Only Mrs. Pattie !!

There have been so many moments in my life that I have turned to Patti's live version of this song. It has deep thematic undertones that only Patti can bring to the surface. She is a great storyteller and in my opinion, far too underrepresented among the legends of our time.

This kind of music is so much missing from the world today Thank God for videos

Patti is one of those superstars that gave you EVERYTHING in a concert performance: extraordinary vocals carrying live instrumentation, gowns for days, diamonds, LEGS of life, and dramatic exits with bouquets on her departure from stage, just pure SPECTACLE held together by otherworldly talent and vocal ability. Patti comes from the school if entertainment where thus level if excellence was the norm. There are few singers out there who can fill such shoes today. To recall the words of Aretha Franklin, when most come to mind all you think of is, "nice voice beautiful gowns", and that's it.
